Abstract

Growth-related structural defects present on the surface of InAlAs layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on InP(001) substrates influence the temperature dependences of the current–voltage characteristics of Au/Ti/InAlAs Schottky barriers. It is established that these defects in the form of pits cause the appearance of regions with reduced barrier height. At a surface density of ≥107 cm–2, these defects significantly influence the parameters of the Schottky barriers at temperatures below 200 K.
